Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole ripe avocados
- 1.5 cups unsweetened coconut milk
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 whole garlic clove, minced
- 0.5 whole jalapeño, deseeded and chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 8 ounces lump crab meat
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 0.25 cup microgreens (optional garnish)
Instructions
Halve the avocados and remove the pits. Scoop out the flesh using a spoon and add it to a blender or food processor.
Add coconut milk, vegetable broth, lime juice, cilantro, garlic, jalapeño, salt, and black pepper to the blender.
Blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy. If the soup is too thick, add a little more vegetable broth, a few tablespoons at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Transfer the soup to a bowl or container, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to chill thoroughly.
While the soup is chilling, gently toss the lump crab meat with olive oil in a small bowl. Set aside in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Once the soup is fully chilled, taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lime juice if needed.
Ladle the cold soup into bowls and top each serving with a generous portion of crab meat.
Garnish with microgreens, if using, and serve immediately.
